1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A 67-year-old man with a history of heart failure (HF) secondary to ischemic cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) developed worsening HF secondary to severe functional mitral regurgitation. Consequently, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) was performed. Despite successful TEER, a large thrombus in the left atrium (LA) was unexpectedly discovered on postoperative day 3. Thrombus formation may be related to changes in the blood stream in the LA, endothelial injury by septal puncture, and an insufficient anti-thrombotic regimen. This case highlights the potential for the development of subacute LA thrombosis following TEER, even in patients with prior LAAO.
